Still watching it, and especially the Speaker, he looks like he wants to stab Obama in the neck, and agrees with at least some of what he has to say...this particular act of political theater is going to be amusing as it plays out.

Yeah, alot of these guys look rather angry/upset...if this was only south korean, one of 'em would be yanking out tear gas
On another note, what do you guys think of his statements so far?...I am disappointed over ACTA support, but eh

I like the idea of lowering taxes for companies that hire domestically and penalizing companies that outsource. And lowering the awful high corporate tax rate.
I support punishing and reforming lenders that were involved in shady lending practices.
I remember being excited about Obama's first SOU, and disappointed when he failed to follow through. If he enacts even half of what he has said, I as a staunch anti-Obamist, will be pleased.
His hardline statement about Iran was needed, lets see a follow through. I'm not sure about our "iron clad" dedication to Israel as an ally.
He remains a suburb public speaker.

I watched The Mummy and was one with some rum. I don't need to watch a campaign speech thanks.

I had surgery and completely forgot that it happened. If it isn't posted on Dakka I don't that it happens.

He tried to out-Republican the Republicans on their own proposals. Now the Repubs will have to actively say, "He's not going far enough!" about things they espoused the day before.

I'm not sure if tht is a good or a bad strategy.
